| Abstract |
| Abstract We present the case of a patient who,
after undergoing unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA), achieved
pain reduction in the contralateral hip accompanied by restoration
of the radiographic joint space. We conducted gait analysis to clarify
the dynamic factors affecting the natural course of osteoarthritis
(OA). Our findings revealed that the patient walked with exaggerated
adduction of the hip following the contralateral THA, causing substantial
regeneration of joint loading. |
